CASTINGS SHARING AN D yl0IiJLNGr MACHINE. i

Application filed July 2B, 1916.

To all whom t 'may concern.'

Be it known that I, VINCENT J. Cenone, Sr., a citizen of the United States, residing at East Chicago, inthe county of Lake and State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Castings Shaking and Jolting Machines, ing is a specication.

This invention is an improved machine for shaking and jolting flasks with the cast-- ings therein and thereby shaking the sand and castings out of the flasks and also Shak ing the sand out of the hollow castings, the

object of the invention being to provide an improved machine of this character which is strong and durable, is simple in construction, which 'may be operated by means oi an 'electric or other suitable motor, and which enables the sand and castings to be shaken out of' the iasks without danger of injury to either the flasks or to the castings. rIhe invention consists in the features of construction, combination, and arrangement of devices, hereinafter fully described and claimed. l ,/In the accompanying drawings: i Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a castings shaking and jolting machine con` structed and arranged in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan of the same.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the same on the planerindicated by the line 3-*3 of Fig. 1. Y

Fig. 4 is a detail transverse sectional view of the same.

Fig. 5 is a detailed and Jolting table.

The body 1 of the 'machine is preferably a single casting, lis hollow and comprises a top 2, walls 3, a base fiange 1l, cross bars 5, 6, in the base and braces 7 on the inner sides of the walls, and which connect cross bars to the top. The bottom of, the body is here shown as open. Pillow brackets 8, of which four are here shown, and which may beprovided in any suitable number, are secured in the body, the two outermost pillow brackets bein secured to ,opposite walls of the brac zet by bolts 9 and these pillow brackets are provided with bearings 10 for a shaft 11. The said shaft is provided at a point intermediate its ends with a shaking and jolting plan of the shaking arm 12 in the outer arm of which an anti- Specification of Letters Patent.

of which the follow-` Serial No. 111,917.

14. Said spur oear is engaged by a smaller gear 15 on a shaft 16 which is mounted in suitable bearings 17 and said gear 15 is also engaged by a smaller driving gear 18 which is on a shaft 19. Said shaft 1') is mounted in suitable bearings 2O and is connected to the driving shaft of a motor 21, which is preferably an electric motor and which in practice may be a motor of any suitable type. It will be understood that when the motor is in operation, the shaft 11 with its shaking and jolting arm 12 will be revolved steadily and evenly at a desired rate of speed bythe gears.

A hollow standard 21 which is preferably tubular, rises from the center of the topof the body and is provided with radial braces 22. At its upper endt the said standard is also provided with radially arranged guide arms 23.

A shaking and jarring table 24 is also provided which comprises flange sides 25, cross arms 26, brace arms 27 which are arranged in the corners of the table and in the angles between the cross arms and bars 27 which are also arranged in the corners of the table and extend between the fla-nge walls of the table, said radial arms and said cross arms.' The corners-of the table between the cross arms are open and said brace arms 27 and bars 28 form in eilect, grate elements in the corners of the table. The cross arms 26 are hollow and are open on their lower sides to receive the cross guide arms of the standard and permit vertical reciprocating movement of the table on the upper end of the standard. At its center, the table is also provided with a vertical depending shaking and jolting bar 30 which is. preferably cylindrical in form and fits in and extends down through the standard and is vertically movable therein, he lower end of said shaking and jolting bar entendin vdown into the upper portion of the bo y and bein arranged in the path of the arm 12 o1 the shaft 11, so that ateach rotation of said shaft 11, the roller 13 will strike the lii't and pass under and permit the bar 30 to drop, so that the table will be lalternatel lifted and dropped violently and thus sha en and jolted in rapid succession.

Flasks w1th` the castings therein will be placed on the shaking'and joltingtable and the operation or the machine serves 'to thoroughly shake and jolt the sand and castings out of the flasks and to also @balie and Patented Feb. 13, 1917.
